Nick, it is possible Gen P is coming from the divide&coop strategy that led to the murder of Col Rich Grifith, USMC so many years ago. It is true that most of the foot soldiers of the Hez/Amal have local motivations resolvable locally, thus can be coopted to “Partners for Peace. Unfortunatly, the Brotherhood and Iranian Council control Hez/Amal with money, guns and corruption, and thus you are right that this is total fantasy and perilous to us and peace. This cost Griffiths his life, the Iranians and Brotherhood got away with the murder and the locals were so scared and corrupted that we have the Hez we face today. I support Gen P’s efforts, but nailing the Brotherhood/Baathist/Iranian support first, he will lose.
